"Babe? Asan ka na?" yun agad ang tanong na narinig niya sa boyfriend niyang si Zack ng sagutin niya ang tawag nito
"I'm on my way Babe. Chill" he replied then let out a chuckle
"I'm getting bored here, where the fuck are you? You are 20 minutes late na" naiinis na sagot ni Zack sa kabilang linya. Ayaw na ayaw pa naman nitong pinaghihintay.
"I said chill, I'm on my way. I love you" ng sabihin niya ang tatlong huling salita ay hindi niya maiwasang mapangiti.
He never imagined himself saying the word "I love you" with the same gender. Yes, he's not straight because he already fall inlove in this person named Zack. They had been in a relationship for 4 years and still counting and for him 4 years is enough to prove that Zack is the person he wants to be with until his last breath.
Ngayon niya balak magpropose kay Zack. Yes, he wants to marry Zack ganun niya kamahal si Zack. Zack taught him what is the real meaning of love and Zack taught him how to be soft. Everybody may not accept them but who cares? It doesn't matter anyway. Love is Love.

Zack was waiting for Jomar at the restaurant for almost 1 hour pero wala pa rin si Jomar. Hindi ugali ni Jomar na malate kaya nag-aalala na siya, dahil sa lahat ng lakad nila ay laging ito ang nauuna minsan nga ay mas maaga pa.
Kanina pa siya palakad lakad sa pasilyo ng restaurant sa sobrang pagkainip at pag-aalala. What happened Jomar? bulong niya dahil wala pa rin ito.
"What the fuck babe. Where are you?" he silently ask while looking at Jomar's photo on his phone screen.
Jomar is his everything. Mawala na lahat wag lang si Jomar he wouldn't let anyone mess with his relationship with Jomar. He love Jomar very much more than anything else in this world, Cupid's arrow really hit his heart.
"Where are you? You promised..." he whispered silently.
"Hey Babe... Look up" slowly he look up and that moment he already know that Jomar is the person he wants to be with until his last breath.
"What took you so long?" tanong ni Zack habang hawak hawak sa pisnge si Jomar.
"It doesn't matter. I'm here already, natupad ko ang pangako ko sayo" sagot ni Jomar habang nakatingin sa mukha niya na parang sinasaulo ang bawat parte nito.
"I love you Jomar." Zack whispered then hugged Jomar.
"I love you too Babe... Can you promise me one thing?"
"Ano yun?" he ask while smiling.
"Can you wake up every morning without me by your side saying goodmorning? Can you do the things that we're both doing together alone with a smile? Can you promise me Babe?" Jomar
asked him emotionally while silently crying."What are you talking about? Pano ko yun gagawin kung wala ka? I am used to it! Nasanay akong nanjan ka! What the fuck are you talking about? Why the fuck are you crying? Iiwan mo ba ako? Tell me!." hindi mapigilang maghisterya ni Zack habang nagtatanong, umiiyak na din siya.
Zack is to soft to handle the situation. He never expect this to happen, he's not yet ready! Walang maghihiway, Walang mang-iiwan that's their promise to each other.
"Babe... I cant be with you. I'm sorry... I'm sorry I can't keep my promise of being with you until our last breath. I'm sorry Babe, Please please continue your life without me. I love you I am so madly inlove with you but I guess this is the end." Jomar said while crying.
"Babe? You can't do this to me. Tell me whats the problem? Babe I love you... Please don't leave me, I thought you want to marry me? Sabi mo pupunta tayo ng Spain para magpakasal kase legal ang Same Sex Marriage sa Spain? What happened Babe? Tell me pleasee... Just please don't leave me. You promised me that you won't let go? Babe pleaseee I love you."
Zack was begging to Jomar. Pero hindi na ito Jomar pinansin at binitawan na ang mga kamay nito, Jomar walked away leaving him at the restaurant dumbfounded. He's not yet ready for this, kasama niya si Jomar sa lahat ng ginagawa niya araw araw nasanay na siya dahil sinanay siya nito tapos ngayon ay iiwan siya nito? Jomar is being unfair.
Zack had been crying for almost half an hour before he decided to go outside the restaurant. Nalito siya ng alalayan siya ng staff ng restaurant papunta sa labas ng restaurant. Ang pasilyo ay mga red rose petals na nakalat at yun ang naging daan nila para mapunta sa gitna ng kalsada, sa gitna ng kalsada ay may isang malaking white screen na may nakalagay na "I LOVE YOU BABE. SMILE.". Nagsimula na naman mahulog angga luha niya dahil sa nabasa. He is now standing in front of the white screen, minutes later his photos together with Jomar started to flash on the white screen at dahil sa nakita ay mas lalo siyang napaiyak.
"Babe, The past few years with you passed by in a blur. It’s true what people say, that time simply flies when you’re having fun. Not only has it been fun. It has been the happiest, most meaningful, and most unforgettable days of my life. I cannot believe that we are finally taking our relationship to the next level. I am so excited to find out what life has in store for the both of us. I look forward to spending the rest of our lives together. I love you.Will you marry me?"
Jomar said emotionally, His tears began to flow again with great pleasure. He approached Jomar and touched it to the cheeks and he answered it while weeping softly.
"Yes, Of course I'll marry you."
And then Jomar gently touched her cheek and then slowly pressed their lips together, all Zack could do was close his eyes and feel the pleasure he was feeling. He really loves Jomar and he will never let him go again.
"Ik hou zoveel van je Zack"
"Ik hou meer van je Jomar"
